The really interesting point for all us D300 fans is that he sees the D300 position in the line-up from a particularly encouraging perspective..... not merely as a successor to the D200 but as an improvement on and outgrowth of the D2Xs !

"The twist is that the D2xs just got better, smaller, faster, and significantly cheaper. That's the way I think of it. That's a pretty impressive feat, actually."

Wow! And as much as we look enviously at the reports about super IQ impressions being made by the D3, we have much to be thankful over in the mid priced but feature packed D300. Wow. I don't have an extra 3K$ floating around right now and maybe I shouldn't feel too bad about that after all.
